I haven't flown one yet but I did sit inside. It is definitely smaller
than the 172, 182's I am used too. JK

Have you flown one? When I was looking for an airplane I flew a couple of
the C models because I had always heard how fast and efficient they were.
They seem unstable in roll- the first one I thought was just that particular
airplane but the second one was too. There are also quite small inside- I'm
5' 8" and it wasn't very comfortable.

Get in tough with the type club MAPA, I think, and they'll be able to
help. Also those Mooneys are notorious for leaking fuel tanks (wet
wings). Takes about $5K each side for the fix. Good luck.

They have a 1975 Mooney M20 N6832V, I think model "C" at my home
airport. The owners have had it for years and have traded up to a twin
Comanche (sp?). It has a new engine (250 hours) and a new 3 blade
McCaulley prop. The avionics are decent (Bendix KMA 24 audio, 2 - KX155
nav/com KT76a transponder, KR87 ADF and Garmin 150xl GPS). It has
7150 hours on the tach which seems quite high to me but I am really
quite the novice when it comes to airplanes. The interior and paint are
decent (6 for the interior, 8 for the paint). They are asking $45,000
for it. I have done some research and this seems like an OK price but I
haven't seen too many of these with this many hours. Please give me
some feeback without flaming me too bad. :-)
